Model Emily Ratajkowski has condemned new Marilyn Monroe film Blonde - but admitted she hasn't actually seen it yet.

She said the Netflix movie, which was directed by Wellington-born Andrew Dominik, "fetishised female pain".

On TikTok, Ratajkowski said she'd yet to watch the film, but was "not surprised to hear that it's yet another movie fetishising female pain, even in death".

In a video captioned 'So done with the fetishization of female pain and suffering' she said: "We love to fetishise female pain. We obsess over dead girls and serial killers," before making comparisons to the likes of Amy Winehouse, Britney Spears and Princess Diana.

"As women - I mean, I can say for myself for sure - but I've learned how to fetishise my own pain and my own hurt in my life, so that (it) feels like something that can be tended to, that's kind of sexy, to be a 'f**ked up girl'," said Ratajkowski.

"I think we do that in many, many different ways. But I want that to change.

"I was thinking about it and you know what's kind of hard to fetishise? Anger. Anger is hard to fetishise.

"I'm gonna be pissed off when I see this movie, I already know it, but (it's) nothing new... I'm just gonna get angry."

The film was the first NC-17-rated movie to be released via a streaming service - it launched on Netflix on September 28.

It was inspired by the 2000 novel of the same name by Joyce Carol Oates.
